Yeah. We talked to Purple Heart - it was all a lie, so he won't get in trouble.
[He does look sad, though, at Flayn's reaction. He wishes it hadn't been Zenitsu, either.]
We weren't able to say anything about who we killed. I only know it was Zenitsu because, uh. He used the fear doll on Taako. I caught on after I touched him, but it wore off before trial.
And I don't know who Taako's partner is, and he doesn't know mine. [Chewing his lip.] The thing I do know is, Taako managed to make it clear to me he wasn't the killer, just involved, and he's incredibly soft on kids like Zenitsu. He'd tease, but he wouldn't want to hurt somebody like that for real. So I gotta think that wasn't his pick.
The evidence at trial we found, the size of the bruise - it pointed to Tonbokiri. And if that's the case, I really don't think too much of it. Somebody who knows they can't fight easily picking somebody like Zenitsu to save their own life - I could excuse it. A big guy like that?
[His expression is pretty grim. There's nothing he hates more than someone strong hurting somebody weak. But.]
But the evidence at trial is all I have; Taako hasn't said shit. So I don't know for sure.
[Whew! Giyuu's punishment had looked pretty terrible. Flayn would really hate to see anyone else get punished for running their mouth.
...but yeah - that makes sense. Taako really doesn't seem like the type to be super chill with Child Murder, just as Flayn hadn't really been the type to be chill with Any Murder. And while Tonbokiri doesn't really seem the type to go around killing kids either -
He is a sword, and Zenitsu was a demon slayer, despite his age and his... personality. Perhaps Tonbokiri had believed it would have been a fair fight.]
There may be ways to investigate it. I do not yet know how, but... an item was involved in revealing what Shinobu did, from what I heard. We may be able to find a similar item to confirm whether or not Tonbokiri has a role that mirrors ours.
Us targeting the other special roles might reduce body count. I'm trying to get a sense if that strategy works. But I also don't want to put Taako in danger. If we kill his partner, he might have to kill somebody alone.
The other option is if we find a way to communicate, and all choose the same person. Maybe only one person will have to die.
[She's quiet for a few long moments, as if she's thinking something over very carefully.]
I— I certainly would not wish to see Taako in a situation where he had to carry that sort of burden alone. I would not wish to see you in that sort of situation, either. [...] I wonder if that would work, or if, since we have to make a decision at our own meetings, we would have to decide independently.

[He's nervous, still, a little.]
But we have to try something, right? We can't just sit around and let four people die a week.

[Even one is too many, she thinks.]
